I need to extend an internal wall but only by about four inches. It
sticks out into a kitchen and needs to be a bit longer to reduce the doorway gap. It is built from some form of concrete block, more a cinder block than thermalite and the end of each alternate row is a single upended brick. The finished wall will be plastered. As far as I can see there are several alternatives. 1 – Cement an additional column of upended bricks to the end. 2 – Chip out the upright bricks and cement in bits of thermalite block so it continues to be interlocking. 3 – Screw a piece of timber to the end with spacer pieces to ensure it is in the right position. Infill with brick/cement. Then put gauze over the new section before plastering. 4 – As 3 but hack off all the plaster and plasterboard in one go. What does the team think would provide the best solution. Andrew |
